Animals in Literature website

http://flourishonline.org/2011/07/lessons-from-literature-about-animals/

This website is an online magazine, and the web article I chose discusses the different ways that animals are portrayed and used in literature.  It references different ways that animals in literature are used to portray humanity, to instill compassion towards animals, and also by learning to live alongside animals and recognizing them as "simply being the animals with whom we inhabit this earth" (Prior). The article then goes on to describe and apply specific pieces of animals in literature. Very interesting read!
